Marinated Tomatoes

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Plum or Roma tomatoes are best to use in this recipe. Plan head the tomatoes need to chill for a minimum of 4 hours and then left at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Try to use only seasoned salt for this, it really improves the flavor of the marinade! Prep time includes chilling time."

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I did cut the oil back to 3/4 cup and used cherry tomatoes instead of the romas. I can't wait to try this with fresh summer tomatoes. Made for In Memory of John and Support for Kittencal Cookathon December 2008.

WONDERFUL! I made a half recipe with ripe on the vine Romas. I let them marinate overnight before trying. They really soak up the marinade and pop in your mouth with zesty flavors. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.
